| ARGH! They won't fail my thesis will they? If I turn in something, they'll let me graduate? Even if I don't have any results per se? Fuck thesis. Fuck theses. thuck feses. suck feces. That one.
And yeah, it is 5:42 a.m. I woke up two hours ago. | | |
| Final grad school visit to UCSD went alright, but not blow my socks off alright. One major thing i noticed again was the lack of girlies in the group. Out of 47 visiting prospectives, 4 (including myself) were girls, which was definitely the worst ration I'd seen. And on the second day, the other three girls didn't come to the condensed matter round table, so it was me and ~30 guys. The prof giving the overview was funny and dead pan easter european, a la Sahakian, except dirtier. He kept making jokes about having nothing to do and watching porn, I thought it was funny. At one point he said "so, ladies" and stepped to one side. I had been blocked from his line of sight until then, but he kind of froze and said "oh there IS a lady." He turned kinda funny red and there was this shift noise "SHOOM" as everyone turned to look at me. So I kinda grinned and waved sheepishly, as if i'd snuck into a boys lockerroom and had just been caught. He asked "are there any other ladies around? well good for you" and went on with his talk. No more porn references, though. It was a little weird. . .meh.
Joe and I finally just decided to sit down and make the Decision already and decided to go for it at Delft. I am so excited! It is going to be so incredible. If anyone can make it to Europe, you have a free place to stay in the Netherlands!
now thesis!

| Ok, sometimes i'm just proud of mudders. for instance, i am sitting in the LAC lab with a bunch of guys working on some CS assignment.
Nerd: Yeah, I guess we could do that. I mean, it's possible, but it's really hard, and you know, just the right size.
DirtyNird: That's what she said.
Nerd (now bright red): I didn't realize how dirty that was.
DN: That's what she said.

| Dude, I got into Delft. I got fed up of waiting last night or this morning at 4 am, and emailed them saying "why haven't I heard from you!?!" And they said "um, you're in." The moral of the story is ALWAYS email them. If in doubt, be the squeaky wheel. I'm getting better at it, ever so slowly. But yeah, I had completely discounted it as an option it turns out, cuz when I read that email, I went into some sort of shock/shut-down. I'm still kinda there. Joe came over and kept shaking me and making silent screaming faces, and I was just kinda catatonic. The funding thing is still an issue, but I think i may have to just do it. Just take out the loans and go. RARGH! Holy crap, yo, holy crapola. So yeah, some people may have a free place to stay in europe for the next couple years if they want to visit (hint hint, wink wink). ok, that's it. | | |
| haha, ok, so i emailed the michigan grad recruiter lady to rsvp to the open house weekend.
She said ok, and also "I noticed that there is another Feldman living at the same address. Will he be coming too?"
I said, basically, "umm, that's our school mail room address, I don't know if Sam is going to go."
She writes back (actual words, emphasis and smiley face):
"Oops, sorry! I thought that he might be your husband! :)
OK...
Well, I will be looking for your flight arrangement info sometime today!"
Haha! So cute, with the awkward pause typed in and everything!
